CHRISTCHURCH CORN EXCHANGE

The Corn Exchange reports for the week ending Friday evening, the 4th June ..The advances in wheat noted in onr last week’s report have been fully maintained. At theLßume time discouraging

accounts are to hand as regards prices at Home and in America ; indeed, shippers will be left with small margins of profit , in spite of the exceedingly low freights that ha ve been ruling lately. The balance of onr wheat stocks must of necessity find outlets in the eolonies or suffer a relapse. The demand (tom these markets continues strong, and the quantities for seed will be more than usual, especially Pasoan, as the heavy rains of late are sure to retard sowing. Tuspm is in good request at Ss 9d to 3s 10d, and pearl is rather aoarce, plump samples being worth 3s 8d to fci 9d; Hunter’s is offering more plentifully and ranges from 3s 6d to 3a 7d, buyers wanting a proportion of Tuscan when purchasing. Chicken wheat still remains at from 2s 30d to 3s Id. Oats —Are in good request both for local and shipping orders. This is chiefly ' caused by the absence of deliveries from the country districts, farmers having other engagements on band. Milling ! tercels have a bore market and a good ins would reach 2s 3d. Short heavy feed would fetch from 2s 2d to 2s 3JI, Danish and Tartars remain quiet at 2s to 9a Id. Barley—Has had a quiet week at last week’s prices. Beans—Have had a trade enquiry at 3« 101 to 2s lid.

Peas—Prussian Blues, true to name, are scarce at 8s 101.

Grass Seed—Ryegrass and cocksfoot are without quotable change in values. Potatoes—Are firm as regards local requirements, buyers giving 60s at country stations, bat buyers are unable to operate in the face of prices now ruling in Sydney. Growers have no doubt experienced heavy losses in the low-lying lands. Kidneys have a good demand. Dairy Produce—Prime butter is worth lid to Is; ordinary keg, td to 30d. Cheese; Loaf shape, 6d ; other sizes, 4£d to s|d. The above prices ate for delivery f.o.b. Lyttelton, CHRISTCHURCH STOCK MARKETS. The Addington market on Wednesday large entries of stock were yarded in all parts of the market, the attendance of buyers being hardly up to the average. Fat Cattle—The large entry was made up of principally medium sort*. The demand was only fairly good, no alteration taking place in late values.

Fat Sheep—A very large entry, some very good sorts being on offer. For these the demand showed a fair activity for freezing purposes. Medium and inferior sorts were neglected, and the very large supply caused values to decline slightly. Heavy weight crossbred wethers sold at from 10s 6d to 13s 6d ; medium sorts, 7s 9d to Os 9d; crossbred ewes, from 5s 6d to 0$ 9d.; merino wethers (inferior sorts), from 3h 6d to 5s per head.

Sound mouthed merino owes sold at 2s 5d per head ; a line of two-tooth quarter-back wethers at 4e 4d were about the only public sales. Store Cattle —Only a small entry, buyers scarce ; the few cattle sold indicated no alteraflon in existing values. Dairy stock were in moderate supply, the demand being equal. Pigs—A very largo entry ; no advance to bo recorded in values. Porkers, 13s 6d to 19s 6d ; bacon pigs, from 26s to 425. DUNEDIN PRODUCE MARKETS.

ENGLISH MARKETS. London, June 2. There are no alterations to report in colonial breadstnffs or tallow. The stock of tallow in London on the Ist June was 15,800 casks. AN UNUSUAL FURORE. A short time since we copied into our columns from the Rochester, N.Y., Democrat and Chronicle “ A Professional Confession,” made by J. B. Henion, M.D., a gentleman who is well known in this city. In that article Dr Henion recounted a wonderful exserience which befell him, and a few days thereafter we published from the same paper a second article, giving an account of the “ Excitement in Rochester ” caused by Dr Henion’s statement. In the first article Dr Henion stated that for a number of year, up to last June, he had been afflicted with what seemed at first a most mysterious trouble. He felt unaccountably tired at frequent intervals j he had dull and indefinite pains in various parts of his body and head, and was very hungry one day and entirely without oppetite the next. However, as a physician, he thought, and so did his fellow physicians, that he was auffering from malaria.

But yet he grew -worse, end was finally obliged to give up a large and lucrative practice. Still he was not conscious of his danger, nor that a Jmongtrous disease was becoming fixed upon him, although all his organs had become gradually weakened. The symptoms above described continued, accompanied by others of an aggravated nature, and he noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids he wss passing j that they were abundant one day and very scanty the next, and were covered with froth or filled with brick dust sediment, But even then he did not realise his rsal and alarming condition. At last, however, he was brought face to face with the fact that he was a victim of a most terrible disease, and he made heroic efforts for recovery, He travelled extensively, and consulted the best physicians, but they could give him only a tem. porary relief, and that principally in the form of morphine. And so he grew steadily and constantly worse until his life became a torture. His pulse was uncontrollable. He lived wholly by injections, and for six days and nights he had the hiccoughs constantly, which arc considered the sure indications o! coming death. Whep fiope and life were nearly exhausted, hi* pastor, the Rev. Dr Foote, rector of St.' Paul’s Church, strongly urged him to try a means which the reverend gentleman had seen used with remarkable results. He objected at first, but finally consented, qnd was conscious of an improved copdilipn the first week. sis pains gradually disappeared j his stomach resumed digestion ; his heart became regular; his headaches disappeared; he bad no more chills and fevers, or acidity of the itemaoh f he gained twenty-six pound* in

three -nonths, and is a well man to-day, being ntirely cured of a molt pronounced cnee of Bright's disease.

Although conscious of the consequences from his professional brethren, still as a duty to his fellow men, and according to a vow he made on what he thought was his dying bed, he published a card detailing his illness and remarkable cure. “ Since my recovery,’* ho says, “I have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright’s disease, and I belieye jcobh than onx-halil TH* DIATHS WHICH OOOUH ABB CAUSED BT Bbight’b DISEASE Of THB KIDBITB. It has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develop* without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other known complaint. Bund reds of people die daily whoso burials are authorised by a physician’s certificate of “Heart Disease” "Apoplexy,” “Paralysis,” “Spinal Complaint,” “Rheumatism,” “ Pneumonia,” and other common complaints, when in reality it was Bright’s disease of the kidneye. Few physicians, and fewer people, realise the extent of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itself upon the life before the victim is aware. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common, and fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of ths number knew or realised the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms it often shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, and as such is usually supposed to be heart disease.

The second article, entitled “Excitement in Rochester," was made up of interviews with Dr Henion himself, who confirmed all said in hi* card, and also with Mr H. H. Warner, The latter gentleman did not regard Dr Henion’s case as particularly exceptional, because he had known of very many •ucb cures by the same means in all parts of the land. Kidney diseases, he said, are carrying off tens of thousands every year, while Bright’s diiease is increaiing 250 per cent a decade; and yet the people do not realise-it or seek to check it until too late. He related how a New Orleans medical professor, lecturing on this disease, thinking to show his class what healthy fluids were, subjected some of his own to a chemical tost, and although he had no suspicion of it before, discovered that he, too, had tha dreaded disease, which proved fatal in less than a year. There was also an interview with the celebrated chemist of the York State Board of Health, Dr S. A. Lattimore, who said he had analyzed the remedy which cured Dr Henion, and tound that it wa» entirely free from any poisonous or deleterious substances.” W* hare made these condensations in order that all the material facts may be set before our reader*. Since the publication of those two articles, having beo» besieged with letters of inquiry, we sent a communication to Dr Henion, and also one to H. H. Warner and Co., asking if any additional proof could be given us os to the validity of the statements published. In answer thereto wo have recerred the following letters, which add interest to the entire subject, and wholly verify every statement hitherto made ; Qbntlbkbn, —Year favor is received. Tha published statement, over my signature, to which you refer is true in every respect, and I owe my life and present health wholly to the power of Warner’* Safe Cure. It is not surprising that people should question the statement I made, for my recovery was as great a marvel to myself, as to my physicians and friends, * * J. B. Hiniov, M.D.

Sms,— Acknowledging your favor duly received, we can any : The beet proof we can give you that the statements made by Dr Henion are entirely true, and would not hare bean published unless s’nctly so, is the following testimonial from the best citizens of Rochester, and a card published by Rev. Dr Foote, which you are at liberty to use if you wish. H. H. Washes & Co. To whom it may concern. — In the Rochester, N.Y., Democrat and Chronicle, there appeared a statement in the form of a card from Dr J. B. Henion, of this city, recounting his remarkable recovery from Bright’s diseaee of the kidneys, after several doctors of prominence had given him up, by the use of a preparation manufactured in this city, and known as Warner’s Safe Cure.

We are perionally or by reputation acquainted with Dr Henion, and we believe ho would publish no statement not literally true. We are also personally or by reputation well acquainted with H. H. Warner & Co,, proprietors of this remedy, whoso commercial and personal standing in this community are of the highest order, and we believe that they would not publish any statements which were not literally and strictly true in every particular.

To the Editor of the Living Church, Chicago. Will you allow the following card, personal to myself, to appear in your widely circulated paper ? There was published in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, of the 3lst of December last, a statement made by J, B, Henion, M.D., narrating how ho had been cured of Bright’s disease of the kidneys, almost in its last s' ages, by the use of Warner’s Safe Cure. I was referred to in that statement as having recommended and urged Dr Henion to try the remedy, wliioh he did, and was cured, Now the republishing of his slalement in many of the leading journals of the day has been the cause of an incessant flow of letters to me making many inquiries, but chiefly whether the statement is true, or a mere advertising dodge, etc., etc. I beg, therefore, to anticipate any further inquiries and save lime and labor, and some postage, by saying that the statement of Dr Henion is true, so fur as it myself, and I belieye jt to be trqe in all other re r spects.
